I was a little surprised by this wine, I didn't find it A typical of a Portuguese wine.

In the glass the wine is a deep, deep purple in colour.

The aromas are of black berries, blueberries, raspberries and recur rants with floral violet notes.

On the palate the are tart fruits, blackberries, wild cherries, stewed plums, strawberries and candied orange peel. A rich dark bitter chocolate steps forward and is followed by a spice of nutmeg and peppercorns . The wine wraps up with good length tannins leaving a dry velvety texture in the mouth.
